They were project oriented and were targeted to achieve the company goals. They supplied all the things necessary to complete you part of any project. The management team, is mostly committed to success and a good partnership with their employees.

Cons

Some had not yet bought into the project management methodology and it was a deterrent to doing the project control and plan. They had not learned that a certification for project management meant a successful project. Too many tasks were 40 or 80 hours and they were never done on time, nor were they correct and many needed to be redone.

Advice to Management

I would simply say they need to actually understand project management and insure that all the processes therein are being followed. First, there needs to be the time given for a good preparation discussion for the project. Then every project task should be written on a "Task Sheet" and every task should be either 4 or 8 hours, no more, to ensue a successes with their projects.
